The tracks all begin with a strong tension, starting slow but getting fast into ecstasies, growing into a thick density giving the album a very gloomy and tough touch. As soon as the black vocals enter, the tune instrumental ground minimizes and gets even thicker, still leading from the front towards the end, and finally then falling apart and decaying softly. The newest album Clawing into Black Sun is a notable album. Combining black vocals and a high tension on the instrumental ground, with loping rhythm makes it a spectacular gloomy and black album.
Their second album The Obsidian Plains is much dirtier. It builds up the tension differently then the latest album. It has its black moods. Starting fast, changing abruptly with a constant high tension, it is a pure Black Metal album. There are lesser gloomy parts, lots of tough breaks, and grubby intervals.
Black Marketeers Of World War III is their first album, and only the drummer Heath Rave stayed in the band to participate in the newest album. The band changed a lot between the first and the latest album. While there have been four members and two additional performers in their first album, they cut back to only three members over the time towards the latest album Clawing into Black Sun.
Wolvhammer give their black music a tough touch, constituting soldiers walking through the marches or fighting within trenches. This likeness gets enforced by epic and aggressive vocals and a solid dark soil on which the music grows.
